Still no luck John,
Sorry about this

I see IMG but when I click nothing happens so perhaps I am missing something ?
Thanks

your posts still are on the newbie side for the spammer software. Once your first 3 posts are approved you should be good to post pics

Still trying to post a pic but same thing happens--I click on image but nothing happens and theres a message at bottom of page saying I'm not allowed attachments.
Never mind John as I've taken up enough of your time and I can try again tomorrow to see what happens
Thanks again

I will try explain the problem with the 12 string until my account gets sorted out.
Basically, the bridge seems to have split in half along the length of where the string holes were drilled.
My question is would it be ok to re glue it with titebond or will the bridge have to be replaced?
I know its hard to say without some pics but I will post them when my account allows me to post pics
Many Thanks
Rusty
